Imagine my chagrin when it was pointed out to me by teammate Ron Smaka that all this rain was my fault. Well, in a roundabout way. The real culprit here is Jim Jordan. Ron theorizes that Jim is angry when he looks down at the Pirates lineup and sees that he's not pencilled in at shortstop. Thus, storm clouds and rain. Please forgive this oversight. For the remainder of the season you'll see his name in our lineup. I'm sure you'll understand.
Our next game is Tuesday. We should be fine by then. Blue skies, guaranteed.
Please note that the Pirates, at 1-0, are the only undefeated team in the league.
And here I thought it was a parody film you were working on, "Pirates of the CDMSBL: The Curse of the Black Rain Cloud." It could be big-your team only appears on rainy nights as skeletons to take on the opposition!
